The five-day strike by employees unions of the government-run Puducherry Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) was withdrawn on Wednesday following an agreement reached between the unions at a meeting with Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy. Mr. Narayanasamy said salary would be disbursed immediately and promised to look into other demands positively.
Payment of salary
The unions had demanded, among others, immediate payment of salaries for the month of October.
They demanded that they should be shifted to daily wage roll and to regularise the employees who had put in over eight years of service. A trade union leader of the DMK affiliated Labour Progressive Front said the strike was withdrawn following the assurances from the government.
